I see us possibly beating KC and that's it. 2-5 by the break. Will DS have a knee jerk reaction? My gut tells me no only cause he wants the perseption to be he plaid out the season like a good owner and was forced to make a change. Then whoever he brings in will be a blessing to the fans and the HC can pick co-ordinators from other teams if need be to fill coaching spots. To bring someone in mid season would leave whatever HC with the same coaching assistants and no one would know Zorn's scheme as well as Zorn.

Maybe he has Shanahan on speed dial. Maybe he has spoken with him and told him to get a field of coach's ready in case he has to make a mid season change. but whoever is brought in can't touch other teams coach's right now until the end of the season. So it would almost be best to just let Zorn ride out this storm and then let whoever the new HC is be able to create his own staff as well as being able to bring in their guys from other teams if need be.

I would assume Shanahan would want to bring in his son who is working for the Texans right now and can't be touched until season's end. Unless the Texans give permission.
